Forumer you are complaining against: unknown yet, 3rd party involved, PANG ZHEN YANG (011 3865 1775, this is most likely a temporary number to con people, look below) mad.gif

Bank Account Number:
MAYBANK 506249104410 PANG ZHEN YANG
PUBLIC BANK 4535352936 PANG ZHEN YANG


Item being sold/bought: MSI Radeon HD7950 3GB GDDR5 Graphic Card

Original thread link: A respond to my phone number via whatsapp in my thread: https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3868611&hl=

Date of transaction: 23 March 2016 14:50:07PM of amount RM550 to 506249104410 MAYBANK PANG ZHEN YANG

Details of the complaint :
Day 1 (25/3) - this person contacted me thru whatsapp attempted to sell his MSI HD7950 to me. he was playing a noisy guy that trying to chat casually with me, that day i was in good mood so i played along. Negotiated with the price and terms and upon agreement between us, He accidentally gave me his public bank account no instead of CIMB and the transaction didn't go thru. Then, he gave me another maybank number and i have paid a total amount of RM550.00 into the MAYBANK account (506249104410 PANG ZHEN YANG).

Told me he's from Sibu and sending to Melaka needs 3-4days, i was feeling fishy about that.. was thinking that maybe he needed more working days to get it sent.

Day 2 (26/3) - Checked the tracking number and it has no records. I asked him in regards of that if it's in case the tracking number is incorrect, wanna make sure the item is being processed. No reply from him.

Day 3 (27/3) - Afterwards at midnight, I noticed his profile pic in whatsapp has gone out and i couldn't see his last seen. Most probably he blocked me. i was feeling uneasy about this, sent a message to ask him take picture of the consignment note, only single tick. Tried to call in the number and it couldn't reach. Probably dumped the number? I was going to sleep and wait until next day afternoon to see any reply from him. No reply as of now. 6:54pm

I have gone through some online investigation here and there.
First, i googled his details slowly 1 by 1, finally the account number hit me up with a result that linked to a facebook page. Apparently its a business page... meanwhile the bank accounts are on the post. oh well, got the number and address as well.
From there, it seem they even included the link to their personal profile in the business page profile. sweat.gif Link here
I noticed that he's a head of a family and married. Lives in Cheroh Raub, Pahang, not Sibu as "he" stated. Meanwhile, found another number. hmm.gif his FB profile

Details:
Pang Zhen Yang
27620 Cheroh, Pahang, Malaysia
MAYBANK 506249104410 PANG ZHEN YANG
PUBLIC BANK 4535352936 PANG ZHEN YANG
011-3865 1775 (fake/temp number)
018-313 0158 (real number)
017-768 7860 (real number)


To anyone know or traded with "him" before, please let me know and tag "his" lyn name here. (011 3865 1775)


UPDATE:
3:53pm - I have tried to contact the number 018 313 0158, talked to a guy that he claimed he is the real Pang Zhen Yang and he did not know about any case of selling the GPU HD7950. He also told me that his personal number is 017 768 7860 and he did not recognize the number 011 3865 1775. I assume this is either he's playing it or it is someone pretended as him to fake the transaction between him and me. It might be someone buying his service and faked my transaction as to him.

He told me that he will check on this and the transaction during midnight and trying to resolve this with me. I'll update here again.


UPDATE2:
28/3 - Midnight he told me that it is not under his realization that the guy faked my transaction to him, he reloaded alipay to the conman as well. He sent me the screenshot between him and the conman's conversation to buy alipay. I requested a refund from him as the fund was forwarded to his account and he had not doubt the validity of the transaction even tho i written "radeon hd7950, psychoactive" on the transaction reference. He said he wont be paying any responsibility on this. Ended up, i did not get any cent from him. I will personally report this a scam case to PDRM provided what he has told me regarding there's an another person.


Current leads:
The person might be staying in Johor, her personal information has something to do with the number 88083. Might have the name "kai" on his name.
Used the number 011 3865 1775. The number is not longer online. (Might be still active)
Not too familiar with speaking/typing English, a lot of error happened in his language during our conversation.
Uses Alipay. Most likely to reload game credits/virtual currency.
SUSPECTED leads:

Sorry for the lost RM550 but this "real" Pang Zhen Yang should make police report together with you to prove him not working together with the scammer.

But common sense when selling something & received payment with different description should raised a flag already.

Few years ago I already encounter same situation when selling something.

Received payment with different description, so I dig around to find the actual person who transfer the money.

It took me few days to reach that person & all resolved in good matter. The scammer, as always in-reach-able.

I agree, i think partially its his fault to acknowledge the fraud payment from the guy. doh.gif
I have asked. He doesn't want to help me in reporting the case anyway.

Wow suddenly a dupe pang appear...

Honestly, if there has been more than 1 person got scammed using the same MO, to the same seller, you guys should report it to the police. One transaction, you missed the description, fine and acceptable. If 2 transactions, that is a red flag already. Might be the scammer and the seller working together. Hence the seller reluctant to assist to report to the police. If he is really not involved, wouldn't it be more logical that he assist with the police investigation. This will help to clear his name. Instead, he is taking an opposite stance toward this. To me, I will consider this too fishy.

Thanks, thats why im saying that i feel unreasonable for the reason he's not paying any of us for any sort of compensation.
